Another post

Things are a bit up in the air right now. I havent really done any gaming except for my daily dose of animal crossing. Gotta mind the grass/snow or ill have none left. What a stupid game mechanic. My entire town will be consisting of plants, trees and blank patches before long. Cant even run anymore without fear of the entirity of the grass wearing out. Gotta spend everyday watering plants and trees when the number goes up by 6 each day. And those couple of hours i watch Dave playing Mario Galaxy. I wonder whose idea it was to let P2 have a shocker which freezes everything that can hurt Mario barring bosses. It makes it fun and i suppose I have to make do with that since i can't fire his star bits at everything. He is quite the kleptomaniac.

But yes, for the Queens Project, I'm a modeller, so I'm doing all the little bits that aren't really main geomotry. Which is pretty good for me, i have the attention span of a magpie in a cutlery shop. As always, texturing isn't my strong point, so I will do my best to at least get a basic texture over everything and then if it needs changing its there to be changed. It's coming along well i believe. The first render i saw made it look pretty darn good, lets hope the other areas we do will turn out that well.

Just an initial texture.

Gameartisans Kingdom Hearts competition also prays on my mind a bit. I have to get it done by friday but with the other projects i don't really know how to prioritise. The whole "I have to do one but i have three and then don't do anything" sort of thing going on. But I'll probably work on Kuzco a bit, since its now just texturing. Then get textures for my Queens Assets and finally over the weekend, Chris' interesting person. HOORAY SCULPTURE. My favourite thing next to having my feet stamped on and finding out all the biscuits in the packet are broken.

Seems like a plan because I don't wanna miss a competition this big, its even bigger than the sackboys so I gotta work hard. Also for when the Dom war comes. There is no way i want to miss out on that. Shame it starts like halfway through the Queens project and assessments too if we have them.  But i suppose we get the last few weeks of Easter to finish it. Wonder what it'll be this year. My first Dom war, its pretty exciting. Should be a compulsory part of the course in my opinion.  IF anyone on the course doesn't want to do it then perhaps they are on the wrong course. Though it is a little intimidating being against all those big wigs, especially since the standard will be raised even more than last year. Still, I'm gonna try, then over summer work on a bunch of little projects to improve my standard, and even do some digi paintings i guess. Maybe an hour speedpaint every night would be good.

We will just have to see now won't we?
